    Not sure how those 6990m owner got their 6990m stable and playing bf3 so enjoyable...but mine 6990m...is doing really bad. when low setting , it reach 150+ fps average , then the fps will reduce to 15+(every 1~2min) and go back to 150+ during the 15fps , its slow like insane and people knife you easily...in bf3.

    Hey, have you tried driver 11.9 with cap 4??? I have that installed and i have zero issues with bf3 and all my settings maxed out 50-80fps.

    give that a shot and let me know how it works.
